    Keg pressure not reacting as expected when cold crashing

    That force carb chart does not tell you what will happen when you change beer temps. It's for calculating the effect when starting with uncarbonated beer. The chart is to tell you the pressure to use based on the temp of flat beer and the desired final volumes of co2.

    Words and phrases I hate

    I hate the word apfelwine and I hate seeing grown men say something like "man, I love apfelwine".

    Transferring Kegged Beer to Bottles

    I fill bottles every once in awhile with a grow Er filler tube, purge bottle with co2, insert tube from tap line, fill from bottom up, cap on foam. Have not had any problems... It's not counterpressure but not sure I notice the difference. I don't store bottles for "years" tho either. The only...

    Serving from a keg on its side

    There are lots of portable kegerator DIY threads in the DIY section. Is this is just for travel and somewhat a novelty, suggest using 3gal kegs instead of the 5 gal and making up a rolling cooler that will hold 2 kegs with taps and a paintball Co2 bottle. Also be advised, ice cold temps take a...

    Empty ammo cans should be filled with ammo

    Anyone else annoyed with newer breweries using cans?

    Prefer cans for all the reasons stated. Bottles are heavy and I don't collect them. I wish everything was cans, there's no real downside to fresher tasting beer in a more portable package.

    Daughters boyfriends that you hate.

    Dont really believe the dads with guns scares boyfriends away. That's television sit com stuff. Especially don't think it's useful to threaten people who want to date your daughter, that's likely to have side effects on your daughter later. If you have daughters, best they learn to date so...

    Tell me how to "strap" a 5lb tank to a corny keg

    Can you disclose a bit more about your intentions with this setup? What you're essentially saying is, I want to strap a 1000gallon gas tank to my car but I want it to look original equipment. Lol. For what reason does it need to look so refined? Is this for commercial use? Are you looking...

    need more body; aerate less with wand?

    From BJCP.org It would be useful to know what sort of beer styles you are making which you think lack body and what sort of grain bill and mash temps you've been using.

    Tell me how to "strap" a 5lb tank to a corny keg

    Neoprene keg wrap sewn/attached to neoprene fire extinguisher holder. For a 5gal keg you do not need that large a co2 tank so suggest a paintball sized tank and fab up a little wrap that can attach to a keg wrap for a single solution.

    Is it P-lynn-y or P-line-y??? Pliny the Elder Pronounced!

    Regarding the debate about the pronunciation for the name, would you be alright if different people pronounced your own name any way they chose or would you think it disrespectful towards you if you corrected them on the pronunciation but they continued to say it "the way they wanted to"...

    Daughters boyfriends that you hate.

    This is a bad problem to have. Your child is afraid of you and what you will think of her. Can there be anything worse?

    Daughters boyfriends that you hate.

    Why is your daughter living with you as an adult and why are you still trying to run her life?

    Small pressurized serving vessels - ideas needed

    It seems like a lot of work, supplies, and such for what are very small volumes for a tap system. Fwiw I've never had an infection in probably close to 200 kegs and my cleaning regimen is not "religious" by any means, just regularly thorough. Seems infection could be introduced in a number of...

    Small pressurized serving vessels - ideas needed

    Are you making one gallon batches for several of your taps? Suggest just reducing taps or enlarging freezer or adding second freezer. Redoing one board on a collar isn't that big a deal.

    Opinions on homebrew competition circuit

    What happens when the brewer of the year for two different states faces off against himself in the finals? While probably okay according to the current rules, I think it's disingenuous to enter comps for brewer if the year in a state you don't reside in in addition to your home state. We don't...

    Most sanitary way to test beer

    Disposable eye droppers and refractometer.

    Frustrated Mightily

    Probably have done 100+ batches over the years, never had an infection and I'm not hyper vigilant about cleaning... Although.. I don't use bleach ever, I clean with PBW and sanitize with star San I don't use plastic buckets ever, I started with glass carboys, went to better bottles and now...

    I think I might have messed up my force carbonation...

    I'm not a huge fan of over carbonated green beer. To me if you have to accelerate carbonation then you're not making enough beer. I personally find a benefit in letting a keg carb at 10-14psi over the course of 7-10 days, I know I am exactly hitting the target and the beer has time to drop...
